Data Domain Extended Retention provides transparent separation of short-term and long-term backup data by storing it in different tiers on Data Domain systems. Data is initially stored in the active tier for backup and operational recovery, then moved to the retention tier that’s optimized for long-term data retention—usually measured in years.

It ensures long-term data access and recoverability with fault isolation so that in the event of a failure or catastrophe the system continues to operate with all unaffected components.

Efficient Consolidation

Replicate backup data from remote sites to a centralized Data Domain system with Data Domain Extended Retention for efficient consolidation of long-term backups on a more cost effective storage tier.
